As mentioned previously, nobody broadcasts in 23.98, but it's very easy to add cadence (2:3:3:2 has become popular, over the old 2:3:2:3 of the "olden days", apparently it generates fewer interlaced frames in sets that playback frames, not fields). Blu-Ray and DVD manufacturers will routinely master in 23:98 because the compression quality is better with fewer frames, and the DVD/Blu-Ray player add field cadence in th up-convert to 29.97.
